Romana comments, “‘Wings Of Steel’ has a classic thrash/speed metal riff, that has its inspiration in the old school sound. It is one of my fave songs of the new record and that is one of the reasons why we have had the tune in our setlist for a while already. It has had amazing reactions live and will be a mainstay in our live set for a long time! I’m overjoyed to present you our first official guitar playthrough with my burning sister Sonia – I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it!”
Sonia adds, “‘Wings Of Steel’ is a powerful and speedy heavy metal song. The combination of the thrashy verse riffs and its melodic chorus makes this song absolutely epic. I love playing this song live because it’s the moshpit track, and when people mosh; it’s like a mutual exchange of adrenaline between the musician and the audience! Hell yes!”
